CARREFOUR, Haiti -- The water inspectors were negotiating with an irate homeowner over her illegal hookup when a neighbor signaled he wanted to talk.
“I would like to know how I can get water access,” physician Cyprien Jean-Jonas said from inside his one-room clinic.
Steps from Jean-Jonas’s front door was an underground well. And while many of his neighbors in this Port-au-Prince suburb had tapped into it for fresh water, Jean-Jonas said, “I don’t want to get it illegally.”
